Feeding what type & size?

10 inch Delhezi Bichir. I feed him tilapia, shrimp, rockfish, and more Ocean-related fish. I also feed him Large Cichlid Pellets

Also, Loofahs are useful for scraping algae off

I’m getting polypterus mokèlé-mbèmbé, Polypterus Senegalus, and an African Butterflyfish with him. He’s awesome! I do enjoy predatory fish more than community tanks, so my biggest tanks are predatory, while my smallers are community tanks. I also use mirrors, as my fish like to murder there reflections. This is a pick of him when he is 7 inches.

Any chance you can get some video of you feeding him and make a thread please?
Don't want/plan to keep predatory fish myself, but can certainly admire them!

Sure. Just don’t judge my tank! I’m going surf fishing tonight, so maybe in 2 days.

edit: oh yeah, I feed him every few days. He’s an OG. Been with me since last September. Had him at an inch and a half. I’ll find a baby photo of him As well. He’s so cute! He survived the multiple deaths of congo tetras, and my numerous mistakes.

Sorry. I won’t ruin this thread. I’ll make my own about my big guy. Continue on with this thread.

Oh, I also buy polyester pillow filling instead of "water polishing pads". Same stuff, but about $5 worth has lasted me almost 2 years.

I use it in place of the sponges in my HOB filters, replace once a week with a fresh piece, no nasty sponges to clog and clean

Around $8 USD at Walmart, I use it weekly in 5 different HOB's, and get about 2 years out of a bag, as well

a. Mr Clean Eraser for glass
b. plastic pasta strainer when pouring water into tank for a water change (yes I use buckets) - it does not disturb decorations or gravel
c. test tube brushes & toothbrushes for algae removal
2. I have a HOB & undergravel filters with power heads
